How big is it?
Crown Castle bought back $971M of stock in the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026. At that pace, $1.0B covers about 1.0 years of buybacks.
The amount equals 42% of its free cash flow over the same twelve months ($2.4B).
Its diluted share count is down 0.7% from a year earlier.
An authorization is permission, not a promise: the company can buy less, more slowly, or not at all, and usually doesn't have to say when it buys.
